In this episode Katie Oshita, RN, BSN, IBCLC and Mark Persaud, DDS discuss tongue tie both from a parent's and provider's perspective and how all of this led to Dr Persaud and his wife Amelia Persaud to create a multi-therapy office.  The strategy here was to allow parents one location, one place to centralize care.  More than that, this central design facilities provider communication and true learning from each other.  Listen for more details about this groundbreaking tongue tie center of Atlanta.Podcast Guest: Mark Persaud, DDS and his wife, Amelia OTR/L, IBCLC built their own specialty practice from the ground up almost three years ago, where they focus on tethered oral tissues (TOTs) and therapy under one roof.  The focus and passion behind his practice is to educate parents and walk them through the TOTs release process in a way that he felt was lacking when he went through these issues as a parent himself. Both of his children exhibited multiple signs and symptoms of TOTs as infants, and despite exhausting consultations with different medical professionals, he felt that there was a missing piece of the puzzle in improving their issues.  This sent him and his wife down the rabbit hole of airway focused dentistry and therapy.  Through several continuing education courses and a practice that focuses only on TOTs and therapy, Dr. Persaud has a unique exposure that allows him to look beyond the lens of just performing frenectomies, but also understanding holistically, the importance of pre and post therapy rehabilitation and wound management, which he feels truly makes all the difference in providing patients with consistent and predictable results.  Dr. Persaud is from Queens, NY. He graduated from Meharry Medical College in 2017, and completed an AEGD through NYU-Lutheran in Atlanta, Georgia, where he and his family settled. Although he still loves New York (to visit), the hustle and traffic congestion of the big city life drives him bonkers. He is a homebody that enjoys time with his two kiddos and awesome wife.  Aside from being an airway focused dentist, he finds himself becoming more into health and wellness, and would love to grow his airway focused practice into adding functional medicine in the upcoming years. Podcast host: Katie Oshita, RN, BSN, IBCLC has over 22 years of experience working in Maternal-Infant Medicine.  Katie is a telehealth lactation consultant believing that clients anywhere in the world deserve the best care possible for their needs.  Being an expert on TOTs, Katie helps families everywhere navigate breastfeeding struggles, especially when related to tongue tie or low supply.  Katie is also passionate about finding the root cause of symptoms, using Functional Medicine practices to help client not just survive, but truly thrive.

In this episode, Sachin and Dr. Eniko Loud talk about Dr. Loud's training, background, and interest in applying functional medicine practices to holistic dental care. Dr. Loud explains there is more to dental care than treating cavities and broken teeth. Sometimes teeth break when there is uneven pressure in the bite. Dr. Loud explains how this happens. She covers what kinds of problems mouth-breathing can cause, why there is so much dental crowding and a functional problem with braces. Listen in for information on holistic and myofunctional dental therapy.   Key Takeaways: [1:02] Sachin introduces the topic for today: oral health and beyond and introduces his guest Dr. Eniko Loud, a pioneer in the treatment of orofacial conditions. Dr. Loud provides dental care in a very holistic way using functional medicine. She focuses on the whole patient. Sachin shares more about Dr. Loud and how Joe Polish of Genius Network introduced them.   [3:33] Sachin welcomes Dr. Loud to the podcast.   [3:56] Dr. Loud was trained in medicine and dentistry in Europe. She had a passion for seeing the whole person. When she discovered functional medicine, it was a paradigm shift. She decided to get certified in functional medicine. She started making an impact on her patient's health, with documents and dietary plans. She was excited about showing up for work.   [6:30] Dr. Loud tells how diseases of the body can show up on the tongue seven to 10 years before they show up in the body. She says bad breath is one of the biggest indicators of disease.   [8:11] Dr. Loud explains the patient's experience. The first appointment can take up to two hours. Based on functional medicine, there is a lot of listening and gathering of information. Before the appointment, Dr. Loud reviews records, diet, toxin exposure, and sleep habits. She connects all parts of the patient's history with their oral health. Patients are amazed.   [9:38] Dr. Loud says this should be the standard of care in dentistry. Dr. Loud is a guide to her patients on their journey. She offers two ways, down the path of disease or the path of health. Most patients choose health. The patient is in the driver's seat and makes all the decisions. Patients receive a report card after their hygienist appointment showing markers of health.   [12:15] The standard in Dr. Loud's practice is for patients to have zero bleeding. That is how the patients can measure their success and progress.   [13:03] Bleeding gums might signal malnutrition. A lot of times, it indicates a lack of proper care. Mouth-breathing could be an issue or bacterial overgrowth even if they brush and floss properly. Toothbrush heads or mouth appliances may not be properly sterilized, spreading bacteria. Toothbrushes should be changed after two months. Dr. Loud likes electric toothbrushes.   [15:15] Dr. Loud likes Oral B iO series brushes. Dr. Loud says it rotates and oscillates so it is very effective at removing plaque.   [16:25] To tell if you have a tongue-tie, open your mouth wide and touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue. If you cannot, it is likely you have a tongue-tie. Dr. Loud explains some of the problems a tongue-tie can cause, and how the posture may be affected. Swallowing problems, sleep apnea, and snoring also may result from a tongue-tie.   [19:33] Dr. Loud describes a 3-D scan that can show abnormalities from a tongue tie. An oral surgeon can perform a frenectomy to relieve a tongue-tie.   [20:35] Dr. Loud recommends myofunctional therapy before and after a frenectomy to prepare the muscle for what it will have to do when the release is done.   [22:15] Two different things impact teeth; bacteria and forces. Most patients don't know they have an overload of forces on their teeth. Dr. Loud explains what can happen when a crown is a few microns too high. This may change the joint position. If the forces are not distributed evenly, some teeth may be overloaded, crack, need a crown, have a root canal, and finally, extraction.   [26:11] Joint position problems may cause more extractions than tooth decay. There are different schools of thought on bite forces and the joints. It would require the dentist to start asking better questions like, “Why is this happening to my patients?” Wanting to learn to fix it may be the biggest problem.   [26:51] Dr. Loud works within a group called OBI Bioesthetic Dentistry and their focus is helping discover the root causes of dental diseases. Once they restore the natural anatomy of the teeth, the face immediately becomes rejuvenated. The focus is function. When you restore jaw joint function, muscles relax and don't clench. There is no more joint pain and muscle tension.   [28:33] Orthodontics can aggravate the joint problem if the dentist doesn't know what a stable bite should be or doesn't have the knowledge to see the patterns of tooth wear. Dr. Loud explains the correct bite.   [31:13] After Invisalign, if the bite is still not mechanically correct, there are options available to correct the joint position. Dr. Loud explains the process she uses to keep the musculoskeletal system in balance. If there is tooth wear, they add back the enamel that's missing with dental materials to restore the natural form of the tooth structure and stabilize the bite.   [33:01] Dr. Loud discusses research that reveals why dental crowding is happening in children. It may be due to diet and mouth-breathing. Dr. Loud recommends working with a myofunctional therapist and a pediatrician to remove dairy and sugar from the diet to reduce inflammation, mouth-breathing, and apnea.   [36:11] It wasn't until after Breath, by James Nestor came out that Sachin learned the connection between mouth-breathing and dental problems. Breath is a diagnostic tool.   [38:13] About jaw size and wisdom teeth. Sachin's relatives in India chewed on sticks to make toothbrushes. They had perfect teeth, no extractions, no braces, without having access to dentists. Soft foods and processed foods have weakened American teeth. Myofunctional therapists prescribe biting appliances to strengthen the joints and the bite.   [42:13] Dr. Loud explores functional medicine and has started a study of ayurvedic medicine. She is preparing to merge it into the functional medicine practice to address the emotional and spiritual parts of a patient, also.   [43:41] Dr. Loud shares her thoughts on the Ayurvedic principle of oil pulling. She believes it works by the effects of the herbs and the surface tension of the oil trapping the bacteria. She recommends it for people who have dry mouths. She tells the types she uses.   [45:12] Sachin thinks he should make an appointment with Dr. Loud on his next trip to Phoenix! He thanks Dr. Loud for the work that she does.   [45:52] Dr. Loud shares her contact information. See the links below.   [47:10] Dr. Loud talks about the associate she hired last year and is training her to help take care of patients. There has been a huge need since the podcast.   Mentioned in this episode Perfect Practice Live Joe Polish Genius Network Ben Greenfield Life Podcast Oral B iO toothbrushes Frenectomy OBI Bioesthetic Dentistry Invisalign Breath, by James Nestor Ayurvedic medicine   Dr. Eniko Loud:Dr. Eniko Loud is a pioneer in the treatment of orofacial conditions. She is reinventing the world of dental care with an in-depth holistic approach applying her extensive training in Functional Medicine. She is focused on treating the whole patient, not just the health of their teeth and gums, by examining biochemical, genetic, and lifestyle factors and how these impact the oral microbiome. She is a sought-after speaker in the world of cutting-edge holistic dental care and has appeared on podcasts such as Ben Greenfield Life and Treat The Source.”   Dr. Loud believes that providing excellent dental care is so much more than just treating the mouth, it requires treating the whole person. She acknowledges that one-size-fits-all dentistry is outdated and uses her training in functional medicine to identify disease patterns that caused oral health issues in the first place.   She is considered a “physician of the mouth” — getting to the root cause of dental hygiene issues, unique to each patient, that require disease resolution. Rather than just filling cavities, she examines the lifestyle factors, genetic, and biochemical imbalances that create disease in the mouth and guides patients to heal the underlying root cause. Her goal is to guide patients on their wellness journey toward optimal dental health.   Dr. Loud has had extensive training in all forms of dentistry as well as in functional and conventional medicine. She attended the School of Medicine and Dental Medicine in Romania, Oradea graduating with an MD and DDS degrees in 2000. In 2006 she obtained her doctorate from Case Western Reserve University and completed an AEGD residency, obtaining extensive experience in full-mouth rehabilitation and complex implant dentistry. She went on to complete a one-year Mastership in Implant Dentistry from American Dental Implant Association through Loma Linda University in 2009, then became the Dental Director for Bright Now Dental, overseeing the clinical development of 13 dental offices.   In 2013, she completed a Laser Associate Fellowship certification from the World Clinical Laser Institute, and in 2017 she completed a one-year Mastership in Implant Dentistry from the Global Institute for Dental Education. Finally, in 2019 she became a certified functional medicine provider by the Institute of Functional Medicine, one of only 3 certified dentists globally at the time. She received advanced training for applying for functional medicine in clinical practice, bioenergetics, cardio-metabolic diseases, environmental health and detoxification, gastrointestinal diseases, and hormone and immune-related conditions.   Following the completion of the IFM certification she attended the Kalish institute 12-month mentorship program for advanced lab interpretation, using lifestyle medicine and lab-based metabolic interpretations as part of a personalized medicine-based practice.   She is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health, the Institute of Functional Medicine, and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.

Applying to dental school residencies! In this video I had a conversation with ASDOH D4, Sohaib Ahmad. We spoke about dental school interviews: who they are for, who they aren't for, what it takes, and how to land one! We compared many of the different options and how they compare, what can be gained from them, and they different ways that many of them are structured. Sohaib also speaks about Match and what to do if programs you are interested in participate in Match, and what to do if they don't. A major question many dental students have is what is the difference between a AEGD and a GPR, and Sohaib answered it for us all! If you have any questions, make sure to put them in the comments or email me! Sohaib was also kind enough to share his email address for any of the viewers who would like to ask him any questions directly!

Welcome back to another episode of the Noobie Dentist Podcast. In this week’s episode I had the awesome pleasure of interviewing someone I have looked up to and followed for a very long time, Dr. Ashley Mark of All Things Dentistry. In dental school, Ashley’s videos on his All Things Dentistry YouTube channel taught me so much from photography, to dentures to oral surgery and endodontics. Ashley is one of the nicest, most humble people I have had the pleasure of interviewing on the podcast. His channel has close to 60,000 subscribers and he has published well over 700 videos over the past several years, a massive contributor to our dental community! Dr. Ashley Mark is a University of Manitoba graduate who has been serving and working in the Canadian Military for close to 20 years. He completed a 2 year AEGD program during his service and has been stationed all throughout Canada, United States and even a stint in Belgium. He also served two tours in Afghanistan and Iraq where he both provided dental care and helped locals launch their own dental training programs. He is currently practicing in Ottawa, Canada with a special interest in Endodontics. Ashley is a great teacher and has indirectly, through his videos, been a huge mentor of mine. He has a ton of free content on his youtube channel and website. He has also created an endo course online for general dentists wishing to demystify endodontics. I had the priviledge of beta testing this course and I must say that it is filled with practical tips and tricks to help you do endo in your practice safely and predictably. Links below!

We are recording this episode live in a plane flying from Nashville to Raleigh. Sully is joined by Dr. Will Jones and Dr. Ford Gatgens. We talk about AEGD, AGD and CE courses and whether they are worth it. We also talk about insurance issues from dropping some types of insurance to going entirely fee for service. We discuss the fears around losing patients and possible problems if the economy changes. We also talk about buying a practice, hiring and building a team, turnover, and the anxiety it can cause. We talk about discovering what type of boss you want to be, establishing a vision for your practice, using technology to help patients, and more. Join us on our hour long in-flight conversation. You can find our guests here: Will Jones Dentistry Accent Smile Center Show Notes: [01:56] Dr. Ford graduated in 2006. He did a residency in 2007. He filled in for a doctor in East Tennessee. He bought his existing practice in 2009. His practice is Accent Smile center in Dickson, TN. [02:54] He worked over the years to add additional services and create the practice according to his own philosophy. [03:09] He uses technology to help patient outcomes. He also does digital dentistry, laser dentistry, and implants. [03:47] Doctor Jones graduated in 2014. He focuses on surgery and sedation dentistry. He bought his dad's practice, and he is 100% owner, but his father is an associate 2 days a week. [04:24] They are currently struggling with when to add an associate and with hiring the right team members. They are also moving into a new office. [06:19] For Dr. Jones, taking a year long program allowed him to better implement what he earned. [09:04] The benefit for Dr. Ford was placing a lot of implants and the opportunity to hear professors from all around the United States. It also gave him the confidence to go out in private practice and tackle some of those bigger cases. [13:50] Sully thinks a good associateship is the gold standard of what you can do post practice. [16:05] Being reliant on a PPO makes it hard to be reimbursed for advanced dentistry. Maybe there is a middle ground to become less insurance dependent. [19:32] You can't just drop your insurance patients, you also have to have enough new patients to cover that gap. [20:36] The plan is to gradually drop one or two insurance providers first. Patients that value higher level service are what we want. [21:53] Sully believes that the insurance will get them in the door, but he still has an opportunity to do work beyond what the insurance covers. He doesn't want to lose his initial patients in the door. [24:01] Dropping some services, you can look at your adjustments and put that money towards marketing and be ahead of the game. [25:22] Dr. Ford is at the point where he's going to make some decisions about his insurance providers that he accepts. [28:37] Another option is continuing a discount with some patients even if you drop their insurance. [29:20] Dr. Jones shares his struggles with buying his father's practice. He also struggles with discovering what type of boss he wants to be. [31:16] He decided to find a way to be nice, yet let people know that it's his money on the line, and things need to be done a certain way. [32:00] They've hired three new people in the past two months, and it has been great. [33:46] In Dr. Jones's practice the staff turnover has led him to discover what type of boss he wants to be. [35:16] After about six months, Dr. Ford started doing an upgrade on his practice. Not all team members have the same vision. [36:21] Once you get clear on what type of boss you want to be and what your vision is, there are some things that aren't negotiable. [37:52] There are challenges when employees have been doing things a certain way, and you want to upgrade to digital from paper. [39:13] Become clear on what your goals are and then share that vision and that passion. When people aren't on board, that's where the hard conversations come in. [40:16] Being a good leader is something you constantly have to work at. It's also important to surround yourself with good leaders and good mentors. [42:05] Your long-term success comes down to your leadership skills. [43:34] It's important to define roles. [45:44] The more direction you give, the better the team response. [49:51] It's human nature not to listen to the new guy. [52:00] It's realistic to come into a practice and maintain the same team, but you will probably need to add people as you grow. There could be generational issues, and it's always good to take the time to communicate and build relationships. [54:36] Share your vision with your team, so they will understand where you are coming from.   As always thanks so much for listening!

The Dental Amigos host Dr. David Maconi, a practicing dentist who completed an AEGD residency at East Carolina University where he largely focused on developing skills in implant placement, surgical extractions, and cosmetic dentistry. Dave is currently working in a large DSO practice near Columbia, South Carolina and has recently begun his own charity-based podcast interviewing experts in their respective fields and making donations to charity for each interview. In this episode, Paul, Rob and Dave chat about the difference between AEGD and GPR programs and the potential benefits that these programs may have for the dentists who complete them: the ability to expand their skills, learn advanced procedures, network with mentors and potential employers, and more. They discuss how these residencies can impact a dentist's job search as well as the potential economic benefits of these programs for both the dentists who complete them and for their employers.

On this week’s episode of Shared Practices, our guests are Dr. Danielle Davis and Dr. Austin Davis, two of our listeners from Texas who found their inspiration to start their own practice from listening to our show. They also produce a blog documenting their dental start-up journey, intended to give young dentists an insight into what it is like starting a practice early in your career. In this episode Danielle and Austin answer questions like, how difficult are the first few years of a dental practice? How do you decide where your practice should be? What do the expenses look like?

The Dental Amigos had an awesome discussion with Dr. Richard Low on a variety of topics that affect new dentists. Dr. Richard Low is a 2015 graduate from Midwestern University Dental School in Glendale, Arizona who completed an AEGD residency with the US Army and is the co-host of the very popular Shared Practices Podcast. In this episode, Rob and Paul talk with Richard about how the military can help a dentist manage debt and receive amazing post-dental school training. Richard shares his observations as to why chairside clinical mentorship and literal clinical hand-holding as a dentist out of school is so important for a dentist's career. Dr. Nacho and Richard banter about WHY dentists need to have sounding boards to figure out “is this normal?” on a daily basis. Rob and Richard also chat about the difference between asking Facebook friends for advice (which is great) versus professional advisors (which is critical) on “big deal” life choices like buying or starting a dental practice. Our listeners can reach out to Dr. Richard Low at richard@sharedpratices.com and listen to his fantastic podcast, Shared Practices (www.sharedpractices.com).

Get ready for some real hard core advice as we reach the big 3-0!  Today’s show opens with a listener email from Hank who regales us with a tale of a windy mentor who farted a patient into senility. Advice starts this week with a listener question from a dental school who boo-boo’ed his AEGD interview by dissing the San Antonio Spurs. Bad move, Zach. Gina writes in with a tale of stink to rival no other. The Hobo-Meter of smell measurement reached 11! Finally, our Reddit question is really more about a ghostly haunting than it is dentistry, its just that the question asker didn’t know that. Oops. Wakanda Forever!

This might be my all time favorite episode! As ridiculous as it sounds…myself, T-Bone (Tarun Agarwal), John Pasicznyk, and Petar Tofovic recorded a podcast in a 16-passenger van on the way to the BeefMastor! This may be the best steak house in the world in the middle of nowhere North Carolina!   In this episode we talk about what it means to have a vision for yourself and practice, AEGD vs. GPR, and goal setting. Not just normal goal setting, but how to survive, how to get a job, and being an associate. Its just jammed packed with great information. I think you will love it!   As always let me know your feedback and make sure to sign up for the Hinman Dental Meeting March 22-24th. Its free for students and we will be located at booth #855!

Well, I got kind of lazy and didn't edit any of those episodes so we missed a week. But, just like any good team we are coming out of the off week with a bang! This week we have Sameer Puri on the podcast to talk about his journey from dental school at USC to AEGD at Tennessee and on to a failed practiced, a thriving practice, and now his role at Spear Education with Cerec Doctors. As a cerec user myself I was pumped to get to talk with Sam. I think you will find the episode has a lot to offer the new graduate and new dentist. Of course we had a good conversation about cad/cam and its use in dentistry. If you're not a cerec user don't just skip this episode because he has a great story and I promise its not a cerec homer episode! Thanks for sharing the podcast, leaving us reviews, and giving us feedback! All your comments we get through the website make it all worthwhile! -Sully

Anthony became interested in dentistry when he was 9 years old and had his one and only filling done. His dentist was one of his mom’s best friends; so, he was always felt very welcome at the practice. Dr. Carbonella shadowed him in high school for 100 hrs and became completely hooked.  He went to UConn undergrad with every intention of getting accepted into UConn School of Dental Medicine. The summer before dental school started, he was offered a USAF scholarship for school. After graduating, Dr. Carbonella went onto active duty, did AEGD residency in California, got lots of good training in every specialty, then was assigned to McGuire Air Force base in New Jersey. He’s been at McGuire for the past 3.5 years and has been moonlighting for the past year for private practice experience and to save some extra cash. In the past has lectured to younger "airmen" on the benefits of retirement planning and being smart with money. It's a passion of his. Next spring he is leaving for San Antonio Texas where he will start the TORP (Tri Service Ortho Residency Program, Army, navy, and Air Force). Other than that, he is the oldest child of 4 boys, who all went to UConn. He is engaged to his lovely fiancé Angela who is a jersey girl through and through, Columbia University graduate, and a child psychologist.   Books mentioned during the podcast: -The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle -The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey -A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Button Malkiel -Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam -The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen covey -How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie -The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz    Email Dr. Carbonella at anthony.carbonella.2@us.af.mil to inquire about Military Dentistry.

I grew up in Indiana, moved to SLC as senior in high school.  Went to BYU, served a mission in California speaking Spanish, went to dental school at WVU (1999), AEGD at WVU (2002) and Endo residency at WVU.  Moved to Arizona - where my wife grew up and joined with Ed Carlson at SSE.  We have tried to be leaders in endodontic education for those in the east valley. We have put on the Inner Space Seminar series for 12 years.  I also have written the endo blog since 2007 - which is a blog about the clinical practice of endodontics.   www.theendoblog.com
